    Zhan Kossobutskiy will fight Srdan Govedarica on 29th of January. It's still early days for Zhan Konsobutskiy's pro career but he won't be a gate keeper for sure.

    Izuagbe Ugonoh is set Segiej Werwerjko on March 30th. Fight with Demerizen is off. Expect Demerizen to be back in March against gate keeper type of opponent.

    It's troubling that Jennings is fighting low caliber opponents, it means he has little left. He has faded considerebly since fight with Klitshko. Top Rank will move him slowly which is good for ticket sales and good for longevity of his career.

    Can't find any Youtube of the Dawekjo fight and only the questionable stoppage against Dimtrenko. Those are decebt opponents, but I'm guessing Jennings struggled in these fights.

    I saw both fights and I can tell that, in Davejko fight he looked mediocore and in fight against Dimitrenko he looked good, I think there are confidence issues but he should be able go past Rivas.

    In all honesty, I don't see where Jennnings career is going. I would love to see him against Ruiz Jr but he is with Haymon now. Put him against Perez in a rematch, that would sell. I expect Jennings to loose this year because of his deminishing skill set.

    Rivas is not too bad though, and perhaps Pulev is next which could mean he can become IBF mandatory.

    Maybe Parker later in the year? Not sure if Parker is still co-promoted by Bob Arum or not but it would be a good fight for both of them.

    He is not co promoted by Arum snymore. It would be nice fight but I think they will go seperate ways. Jennigs is not rated high enough because he has faced jorneyman or faded contenders as of late.

    Amateur turned pro Ilya Kvasnikov has moved down in weight to cruiserweight. He will fight Yassine Habachi in his second pro fight on February the second. I think he can do something at cruiserweight or heavyweight but we will see how he will react when he will step up his opposition.
